That's the War on Drugs for you: some people misuse a substance, so others who would use it responsibly must be punished.
I didn't think that.
I think it depends on the type of pain and the individual's personal tolerance levels. Also their personal desire to avoid opiates might have a significant affect on their willingness to tolerate pain.
As far as willow bark goes you might as well have said aspirin since aspirin is basically a pharmaceutically refined, but unaltered, analog of the anodyne phyto-chemical in willow bark. Aspirin has been fairly popular for pain reduction.
Cannabis would probably rate somewhat above aspirin but, again, that would depend on the type of pain and the individual's response to each substance. Its action is entirely different than salicin but then again so is the action of an opiate from either of those.
Shannon has been absent from FB where he is normally active, concerned people checked on him, he is going through tremendous distress and pain when asked how he was feeling this is his reply.
Shannon MacLeod Well, I’m not alright. That’s not a snide remark but, rather an indication of fact. I’ve had heavy CFS bleeding & the fluid build up in the cranial cavity causes really nasty thing’s to happen. So much scarring has built up on my spinal cord that I can’t cycle CFS like your average joe.
It’s supposed to cycle three time’s a day but,mine is fairly stagnant. The best part is the inflammation increased damage to the CNS & has managed to cause autonomic dysfunction.
Do I want to eat a bullet?...yes.
Will I? ....I really don’t know?
The disease is very aggressive with me,everyone is different.
It’s out of control now & not a chance in hell will I ever get treatment.
Imagine the pain of being beaten with a bat all down your spine.
How would you feel after you woke?

Like I said; those parents misused ... and were not prevented from doing so by our War on Pain Meds.
terrible news. marijuana decreases sensitivity to opioids meaning if a marijuana user needs opioid pain relief (for example after surgery) it takes ridiculous amounts, if adequate pain relief can be achieved at all. in fact usually we have to resort to a ketamine infusion to achieve pain control. the government practicing medicine is what gave us the opioid crisis. they need to stop now.
you are correct. And with the extra benefit that regular pot use makes users less sensitive to opioids and they require higher doses.

this has been known for some time but the study that proved it was done at the university of.colordo in the last year or so
